Answer:

Explanation:

The poet of these lines, Edna St. Vincent Millay, imagines a speaker who is sick of spring and everything that goes along with the season changing. Millay employs word choice such as "stickily" in order to make the beauty of new leaves growing on the trees seem grotesque. She also names the leaves as "little" further diminishing the importance of the season changing. The speaker calls out directly to April in the first line ("To what purpose, April, do you return again?"). This line can be read as threatening or condecensing in light of the word choice in the poem as the speaker is angry at April's return. The speaker concluses that "I know what I know," marking themselves as more knowledgable about the world than spring and April.

Answer:

i did six. i cant go any farther

these all are origianal, and i worked really hard.

#1. Horror: As I crept down the hall to the office, I felt a chill roll down my spine as I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. A doll. Not just any doll, THE doll. The doll that has haunted my dreams since I was six. Here is how it all happened.

#2. Comedy: Hi, my name is (Louise/Louis), I'm five foot seven, and I'm a total loser, or at least I was a total loser. that was until my best friend John posed a video of me dancing to my favorite song on Intsa'. Now, I am a total loser, with no friends, and a thousand hits.

#3. Romance: Everyday I wonder when the perfect person for me will come along. I wonder where. and i wonder who. But i had never wondered if it would be my best friend, Aspen Moral. He is the hottest dude in school, I never noticed that. He is totally cool, I never noticed that. And I never noticed that he was really good at making me feel like I have never felt before. Until now.

#4. Mystery: Shawn was my best friend, my sisters boyfriend, and the most popular guy at school. Everyone loved him, everyone knew him. He was such a great guy, never did anything wrong to anyone. So why would anyone kill him. That has been the question on everyone's mind since that night. The police have given up, and we still haven't gotten closure. it is time for me to figure this out, for me, for my sister and for the whole town, i will find the man who killed Shawn.

#5. Science fiction/futuristic: He knows. Someone told him. I haven't told anybody. Ever. So how did the president figure out about the Cyborg Rebelion. We have been planning for five years. We started in 3087. It is now 3092. Five years of work down the drain. Whoosh! A droid rushes past me in the hall of my school.

#6. Dystopian. my worst genre as an author. jesus

The bell. That means another death. Another one who tried to escape. Another life gone down the drain. Lyrica hoped that she didn't know who did it. she had already lost Mirce, here brother, Swan and Dove here twin best friends who were twins. Everytime someone tries to get out, and doesn't succeed, a bell chimes. This has been happening for hundreds of years. millions of people gone. All because of Marissa Lupez.
